THE VISION
THE ASSETS
FOLLOW
-
DWARVENKIND is a gritty, tactical First-person RPG built in Unreal Engine 5.
-
It is an indie game in active development by a solo developer.
-
It’s a sci-fi fantasy game where you play a soulforged dwarf—rising from deep underground to reclaim a post-apocalyptic world after millennia of technological progress in isolation.
-
A Sci-Fi Fantasy World Unlike Any Other
Take advanced tech into a world where magic never died. Wield coilguns against swarms of goblins, deflect spells with graphene-layered armor, explore and survive the ruins of an Empire— where the ruins shoot back.
-
WEIGHTY MOVEMENT—UNLEASHED
Fight with weight and precision. Every swing, shot, and spell is grounded in physics and timing. Cast spells while running, dodging, or jumping. Spellcraft flows with combat, not the other way around.
-
ROGUELITE, MEET EXTRACTION SHOOTER
Explore endless environments shaped by curated paths, pacing, and encounters that shift with every run. You decide when to push deeper, or get out alive. Extraction is always on the table, and the risk increases. So do the rewards.
